I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

They’ve both had a great year at school this year. Troy’s first without his sister by his side and Athena’s first at secondary school. 

They both had great reports, always did their best and have made some really lovely new friends this year. I could not be more proud of them.

Now, let’s go and enjoy the next six weeks before school starts all over again!

Celebrating World Book Day with FancyDress.com | AD

*This is a paid post

LP and Little Man love World Book Day – it something they look forward to each year. This year World Book Day is on 7th March and FancyDress.com sent the children beautiful costumes from their range to get them ready for the day.

FancyDress.com have costumes for many fancy dress themes and for every age and every occasion – with World Book Day costumes being just one of them. LP and Little Man chose to be Mary Poppins and Captain Hook but they are just two of the fantastic characters children can be this World Book Day.

Celebrating World Book Day with FancyDress.com

The FancyDress.com World Book Day range covers so many great characters from children’s literature – the Gruffalo, Peter Rabbit, the Hungry Caterpillar and Where’s Wally along with every Disney princess you can think of, every superhero and so many supporting characters too – Miss Trunchbull or even James’ Giant Peach!

World Book Day is one day of the year that really celebrates the books that children love to read, the characters that work their way deep into a child’s imagination and the stories that children love to hear at school, at home and just before they go to bed.

Celebrating World Book Day with FancyDress.com

LP and Little Man love to read. They are never far from books and love nothing more than curling up together for a story. Now that they can both read themselves we love to listen to them read as well and storytime is always a really treasured part of our day.

Celebrating World Book Day with FancyDress.com

The children were so happy with their costumes – as you can probably tell from the photos – and they both really helped the children step into character. LP’s Mary Poppins costume is a one piece over the head outfit that is so true to the character’s outfit in the movie. It comes with a matching bowler hat – with flowers on the sides – making it just such a nice costume for World Book Day. I’ll be getting LP some white tights to wear with it, finishing off the costume perfectly.

Little Man’s Captain Hook costume comes as trousers and an over the head all in one top which looks just like a jacket with a ruffled shirt underneath – the perfect pirate costume. It comes with a hat – with a feather in it – and even a hook to hold onto in one hand! This really is such a well thought out costume and one I know the children will wear a lot at home too.

FancyDress.com cater for every child. They have costumes for the children who love fairy tales, the ones who love an adventure and the ones who love simple nursery rhymes. Plus, they have costumes for adults too so that parents and teachers can get in on the World Book Day action too. They even have plus size costumes and so many different characters – Red Riding Hood, Roald Dahl characters like Willy Wonka, Star Wars, Harry Potter, the Mad Hatter and accessories to go with all of them too.
